Stadium used a leadoff home run to get a
run in the fourth.
With
one out in the fourth Haley Dusek worked the count full and then walked. After a second out Dusek stole second. The shortstop was able to knock down Alex
DeStephano’s single which moved Dusek to third.
The third baseman thought Dusek was going to slide into third. But there was no throw, and Dusek kept
going. Dusek bumped into the third
baseman as she rounded third. Even
though the ball beat Dusek to the plate, she was awarded home due to
interference on the third baseman. Sarah
Sorensen followed with a single to right which made the run earned.
Kelly
McLaughlin singled down the third base line to open the seventh. Alexa Ostrander put down a perfect sacrifice
bunt to move McLaughlin to second. McLaughlin
took third on a wild pitch. After a
second out Courtney Schwan fell behind in the count 1-2. She then singled into left to score
McLaughlin with the winning run.
Good
defensive plays were made by Alex DeStephano who charged in to field a bunt and
fired to Haley Dusek covering first for the first out in the 3rd; by Haley
Dusek who went way to her right to field a grounder and threw to Alex
DeStephano who made a nice stretch for the second out in the 3rd; by Celine Woo
who short hopped a grounder to third and threw the batter out at first for the
first out in the 4th; by Alex DeStephano who caught a line drive for the second
out in the 4th; by Courtney Schwan who threw to Alexa Ostrander (KEY PLAY OF
THE GAME) who was covering third to catch the runner trying a delayed steal for
the first out in the 5th; by Abby McDonald who chased down a wild third strike
and fired a seed to first to get the second out in the 7th; and by Celine Woo
who went to her left to field a grounder and threw the batter out at first to
end the 7th.
Courtney
Schwan started and again went the distance for the win. She struck out 9 including the side in order
in the second and walked none. She gave
up 6 hits and just one run.
